Case Study – Triumph Motorcycles

CASESTUDY

Triumph Motorcycles

Triumph Motorcycles Ltd is the largest UK-owned motorcycle manufacturer, with a prestigious heritage dating back to 1902. With multiple warehouse and production facilities across the UK, Triumph requires comprehensive Materials Handling Equipment (MHE) training to maintain operational efficiency and safety compliance.

The Challenge

Prior to partnering with National Compliance Training, Triumph Motorcycles faced several challenges with their MHE training programme:

  • Inconsistent training quality across different UK sites
  • Scheduling difficulties that disrupted critical warehouse operations
  • High costs associated with using multiple training providers
  • Varying certification standards and documentation processes
  • Limited flexibility to accommodate staff shift patterns

Our Solution

National Compliance Training implemented a comprehensive, company-wide MHE training programme that included:

  • Standardised training across all UK sites
  • Customised scheduling that worked around production and shipping requirements
  • Training delivery for a full range of equipment types:
    • Counterbalance Forklifts
    • Powered Pallet Trucks (PPT)
    • Very Narrow Aisle (VNA) Trucks
    • Reach Trucks
    • Order Pickers
    • Tugs
    • Scissor Lifts

"National Compliance Training transformed our approach to MHE operator training. Their flexible scheduling and high-quality instruction have not only improved our safety statistics but also reduced our training costs significantly. The difference in the confidence and competence of our operators is remarkable, and the seamless coordination across all our UK sites has eliminated the administrative headaches we previously faced with multiple providers. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to any operation serious about MHE training."

Phillip Wright, Material Handling Supervisor, Triumph Motorcycles

The Results

23% Reduction in Overall Training Costs:  By consolidating all MHE training with National Compliance Training, Triumph Motorcycles achieved significant cost savings through standardised pricing and reduced administrative overhead.

100% Compliance Across All Sites: Our structured approach to documentation and certification ensured that all operators across every UK site maintained current, valid certifications at all times.

35% Decrease in Equipment Incidents: The improved quality and consistency of training led to a measurable reduction in operator errors and equipment-related incidents.

Minimal Operational Disruption: Our flexible scheduling approach meant training sessions were delivered during natural production downtime, minimising impact on warehouse operations.

Ongoing Partnership

Following the success of the initial training programme, Triumph Motorcycles has established an ongoing partnership with National Compliance Training, including:

  • Regular refresher courses
  • New employee induction training
  • Periodic assessment of operator skills
  • Consultation on warehouse safety procedures
